The static IP for the Mobile GDO controller is the
same as your LAN Gateway/Router IP (item b)
except that the number after the last period can
be anywhere from 2 to 254. It can not be another
number already being used by your router. We
suggest you simply use a number between 45
and 55. For example, if your LAN Gateway/Router
IP is 192.168.1.1, you could create a static IP of
192.168.1.45 for the Mobile GDO. If you are
unable to get the Mobile GDO to work, try using
another number in this range.
• Your security type will be revealed in a
greyed out list underneath the network you
are connected to. It will be either WEP or
WPA or a variant thereof.
PC computers using Windows XP/Vista/7:
• Click on the wireless signal strength
indicator at the bottom right of the task-bar
• Hover your mouse over the network you are
connected to
• The security type will be shown in a popup
box. Either WEP or WPA or a variant
thereof
d. LAN Wi-Fi SSID
Your LAN Wi-Fi SSID is the name of your home
Wi-Fi network.
f. Security Key
Your security key is the password you use to
connect wireless devices, such as an iPhone,
iPad or laptop, to your wireless network. If you do
not know your password, it can be found by
logging into your router. See h and i below.
Record the password in the list.
You can find your Wi-Fi SSID on devices that are
connected to your Wi-Fi network. For example:
iPhone:
• Select the settings icon
• Choose Wi-Fi
• Your Wi-Fi SSID is the network with a check
mark beside it
Please note, the location you enter the password
in the Mobile GDO app in Step 3 will depend on
whether your Wi-Fi security type is WEP or WPA.
If you security type is WEP you will enter your
password into the section named “LAN Wi-Fi
WEP Key”. If your WiFi security type is WPA you
will enter the number shown in the app which
matches the type of WPA you have. The number
will be entered in the into the section “LAN Wi-Fi
Security Type”. You only need to enter the
Security key into one of these locations.
Apple Computers:
• If your apple computer is on your Wi-Fi
network, simple click on the Wi-Fi fan icon
at the top right of the menu bar
• Your network Wi-Fi SSID will be the name
with a checkmark beside it
PC computers using Windows XP/Vista/7:
• Click on the wireless signal strength
indicator at the bottom right of the task-bar
• Your Wi-Fi SSID is the name of your home
network shown as “connected”
g. AES Key
The AES key is any series of 16 alphanumeric
numbers you choose. You only need to enter it
into your iPhone once. It will be transferred to the
Mobile GDO controller in Step 4. The more
random your AES key the better. An example is:
1221DD3488CB3324.
e. Security Type
If your computer is on your home WI-Fi network,
follow the instructions below. If it is not on your
Wi-Fi network you will have to log into your router
(See h and i below). Record the full description of
the Security Type. For example WPA2 Personal.
Note: You do not need to complete h and i if
you intend to only use your Mobile GDO
controller at home while connected to your
local area network. There is a “home button” on
the Mobile GDO app. While this button is
highlighted your Mobile GDO will only
communicate with your local area network.
Apple Computers:
• Hold the “option” key and click on the Wi-FI
fan icon at the top right of the menu bar

Software and Settings Instructions
You’ll know its ready when the two LED’s
flash in a quick alternating pattern.
c. On your iPhone go to your Wi-Fi settings
and you will see a new network called
“MGDO104”, where 104 is the software
version on your Mobile GDO. Choose this
network.
d. Open the Mobile GDO app on your phone
and navigate to “Opener settings”. At the
bottom of the “opener settings” screen you
will see the words “searching for devices”.
When the Mobile GDO is found, the two
buttons “Send Config” and “Get Config: will
automatically appear. Press Send Config
to transfer the settings from your iPhone to
the Mobile GDO. To confirm the settings
were transferred correctly you can now
press “Get Config” and a pop up window

e. Reconnect your iPhone to your home W-Fi
network by going back into Settings/Wi-Fi
and select your home network. Switch the
mode switch on the side of the Mobile
GDO to normal. If the Mobile GDO
connects to your network successfully you
will see the 2 LEDs blink slow and steady
at the same time.
h. Router WAN IP
This information is required if you intend to control
your Mobile GDO through a cellular network.
You can find your Router WAN IP address by
opening your browser, going to www.google.com
and doing a search for “whats my ip”.You can also
find your Router WAN IP logging into your router
(see Step 5).
i. Router Incoming Port
We recommend you use port 2000. Practically
speaking, any number from 2000 to 49000 could
be used.
Step 2: Install the Mobile GDO App On Your
iPhone
Install the Mobile GDO software on your iPhone.
It is available for free in the iTunes store. To
obtain it, touch the APP icon on you iPhone
screen and then touch Search at the bottom of
the screen. Search for TekDevices or Mobile GDO
to find the app and then install it on your phone.
Step 3: Insert the Network Information Into the
Mobile GDO app on your iPhone
Step 5: Setup Up Your Router Port Forwarding
Open the app on you iPhone and touch the i on
the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Work
through the screens and insert the required
information from the list you have prepared.
In this section you are programing your router to
listen for a command from your iPhone to open
and close the garage door and then to forward
that command to the Mobile GDO. Your router
requires the following information:
Please note that you do not enter the LAN Wi-Fi
Security Type as WPA or WEP. The instructions in
the app provide you with the appropriate number
to enter.
-Router Incoming Port (item i from list)
-MGDO Static IP (item c from list)
-and the forwarding port which is fixed at 2000
Step 4: Program the Settings Into The Mobile
GDO
You will need to log in to your router to input this
information. More detailed information on how to
log into your router is available in the
manufacturers user manual for your router. Our
website also contains tutorials which can assist
you.
a. Plug the Mobile GDO into a wall socket.
The indicator LEDs will start flashing.
b. Switch the mode switch on the side of the
Mobile GDO to “setup”. There will be a
brief pause in the LED flashing as the
Mobile GDO changes to setup mode.
In general, you will complete the following steps
to set up port forwarding:

Software and Settings Instructions
1. Login to your router. You will either use a setup
program like Apples airport utility or you can
access the admin page by typing into your
browser the IP address of your gateway. Example
in your address bar type 192.168.1.1
• Protocol: Both
• Enable: Checked
• Local IP Address: The LAN Static IP you
choose for the Mobile GDO
• Local Port: 2000
• Public Port: 2000 (this can be other number but
we recommend 2000 to keep it simple)
2. When logged into your router look for a section
that is called "status" (might be the default first
page when you log in). What you are looking for
is the WAN IP of your router, sometimes its called
the "Router Public IP". Make note of this number
Step 6: Install IP Monitoring Software (only
required if internet access is desired)
Use of this software avoids the subscription fee
many other companies charge for monitoring your
Router Wan IP.
3. Next look for a setup section called "port
forwarding" or "port setup" or "advanced setup"
or "NAT"
4. Insert the required information
The purpose of the ipMonitor Software is to let
you know if the internet unilaterally changes your
Router WAN IP. Such changes occur infrequently,
but when they do your Mobile GDO would not
work until the new Router WAN IP is input into the
Mobile GDO app on your iPhone. This software
monitors your Router WAN IP and sends you an
email when a change is made. It provides you
with the new address which you use to simply
update the setting in the Mobile GDO app on your
iPhone. The following information should be helpful in
completing this step
Apple WiFi routers(airport, etc)
• open finder and choose airport utility under
applications. NOTE: depending on your version
of OSX you might find it easiest to use spotlight
and search for “Airport utility”
For most other routers:
• With your web browser, go to the router settings
page by typing into the browser address bar
your LAN gateway/router IP recorded in
previous steps.
• Logon to your router, typically the default is
admin for username and blank for password
• In the router will be a Router WAN IP. Please
make sure, that the Router WAN IP in the router
matches the external IP as shown when you
use www.google.com and search “whats my ip”
• Find the DHCP range of the router. This should
be something about a Starting and Ending IP Or
Starting IP and the number of users.
• Make sure to set a Mobile GDO static IP you’ve
chosen for the Mobile GDO is outside of that
range.
• Some routers may not require you to choose a
static ip outside of the DHCP range. Some
routers, are more pickier than others.
Go to www.TekDevices.com and download the IP
monitoring software and install it on a PC or MAC
that stays on your network permanently. After you
install the software open up the program and
setup your email settings. You can obtain this
information from your internet providers website
or go to your email program and view your
account settings were you will find the required
information to setup the IPmonitoring software.
This program will monitor your WAN IP address
and send you and email if it changes. You can
then change your WAN IP in the Mobile GDO
app on your iPhone and regain access to your
garage.
Alternative To ipMonitor Software
Your Mobile GDO will work with dynamic DNS
services. Please see your dynamic DNS service
for setup instructions. There is more information
available on www.TekDevices.com on dynamic
services and how to set them up.
General example of settings you will want to look
for on your router:
• Port forwarding, Enable.
